I've had two hard locks of the game, but I'm not sure if it's simply the game or not. I'm more likely to place blame on the beta drivers I'm using, and all that. Mantle support is good though, picked up a easy 5-15fps over all with it as well. Haven't tried multiplayer yet because she's not off work for another 2hrs, but she's got 5 days off starting at midnight CST, so we'll probably get a few games in tomorrow.

The tactical camera is a bit...funky. Don't like the way they've changed the tactics system either. But I've only got 3hrs in, so who knows. I'm still using LR mouse button to try moving at times, and so my character will randomly start attacking the air.

Edit; Tossing in, just moved the game to my SSD. Makes a hell of a difference with load times.

Not after all the other depts with similar legacy that have been gutted and rebuilt. If you don't like the way things are now it's because the people the govt hired to run it aren't doing their job.

You do know how crown corps work right? There's always a handler, a go-between with the "top officers and everyone else" telling them that "it's always been done this way, and so on." And they "shouldn't rock the boat." Welcome to the CBC, CRTC, and if you live in Ontario the LCBO.

Yeah that doesn't really mean shit, the board of directors is about as useful as the crown chair at the CRTC doing a proper job instead of the miles of bureaucracy under them, where decades of industry insider have stacked them.

Every time someone goes to cut the CBC's funding, the libs and ndp throw a hissy fit over it. The CBC served a purpose, once, long ago, when there was no one else willing to setup transmitters in the asshole of nowhere. Not the case anymore.

Yeah you can, and origin support has already stated that it's perfectly fine to do so. Anyone who really wants to dig into it can just hit the /r/dragonage sub and take a search on it.

Oh don't worry, I'm sure that you're still happily cheering the anti-gg side that created a block list of 15k people, because they didn't want to hear the otherside of the argument. Remember that whole "which side really wants dialog on the problems..." yep it's not them.

Well they did learn a few things apparently with Skyrim. The difficulty scaling was much better in that game then Oblivion or Morrowind that's for sure. Still I have much more faith in Obsidian "getting it right" on game and difficulty design then I do with Bethesda getting it right.

InBlack wrote on Nov 6, 2014, 05:35:Bethesda's Fallout3 had mediocre writing at best. New Vegas improved on that a whole shitload, but its unrealistic to expect them to deliver something on par with Fallout2's phenomenal dialogue.

That would be because New Vegas was done by mainly the same people that did Fallout and Fallout 2, so no big shock that they did exactly that.

InBlack wrote on Nov 6, 2014, 02:21:Kind of relieved. Why does it have to be set in one of the US cities? Couldnt they up the ante a little bit? Maybe let our hero travel to some more varied locations, you know like in Fallout2.

They hinted at "'Ronto" aka Toronto in The Pitt DLC. So who knows, there's lots of places that they could do.
